It couldn’t have been
any better – Uncaptured ‘captures’ the Prince of Wales Stakes
|
The fifth runner gushes passed to win the race! Uncaptured ‘captured’ the Prince of Wales Stakes, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, held July 30.
It was indeed my lucky day that I could witness such a magnificent race at the so very beautiful Fort Erie Race Track at Ontario. My visit to Canada was absolutely worth it. The six horse field ran over a distance 1 3/16 mile where Uncaptured timed 1:55.49. Following second was River Seven, and third Niigon’s Glory. The order of the finish was Jagger M, Power Phil and Rackman. All were carrying 126 pounds.
I was simply amazed to see jockey Miguel Mena tugging t he beast to full power at final turn. The dark bay colt trained by Mark E. Casse is the 2 year old champion horse in the male category last year in Canada. Son of Lion Heart and Captivating marked his first three year old win. Holding onto his position through three quarters of the mile in the fifth position, however he had started quite well in second. Uncaptured won the second straight year win for trainer Casse, previously winning with Dixxie Trike in 2012. His first ever win of the Prince of Wales Stakes was in 2009 with Gallant.
Surprised at his win, Casse had commented, "I was very surprised, I was shocked," Casse said of Uncaptured's trip, going down the backside I kept saying to myself, 'He really likes the dirt.' – CBC Sports.
River seven also ran a very brave run even though being pressed into the second turn. Among other Casse’s horses were Dynamic Sky, Spring in the Air and Jagger M.
All –in-all it was a great experience to being able to witness a race with such uncertain beasts.
